Charmer Deck #201779 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 18/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 47 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Baronne de Fleur, The Zombie Vampire, Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon, Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon) reached through searcher-driven link and synchro lines; Charmer Link monsters recurring opponent GY monsters to build a board
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and summon a starter (Snake-Eye Ash, Diabellstar, or Preparation of Rites into a Ritual), then build toward a Link via Charmer Link monsters; no reliable T1 line is evidenced
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Maxx "C" and PSY-Framegear Gamma as hand traps and respond to the opponent's Special Summons, then rebuild with Baronne de Fleur if it can be reached
• Recovery: Recycle through searchers (Snake-Eyes Poplar, Ha-Re, Ohime, Sky Striker Mobilize) and GY-based summons; recovery depends on the Extra Deck link pieces surviving
• After siding: Not available: the deck runs no Side Deck (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is illegal in Master Duel as submitted: Maxx "C" and WANTED: Seeker of Sinful Spoils are each run 3 times against a limit of 1, and Snake-Eye Ash and PSY-Framegear Gamma are each run 2 times against a limit of 1. Under the rubric it therefore gets only a structural read and a capped score, not a normal final score. Structurally the deck has real strengths: about 17 searcher-text cards give roughly 0.91 probability of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), it runs 5 hand traps, and its Extra Deck holds several 2500–3000 ATK bosses (Baronne de Fleur, The Zombie Vampire, Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon, Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon). Its main weakness is coherence: only 6 of 47 main-deck cards carry the Charmer name (9.7% exact-name purity), and the list splices in Mikanko, Snake-Eye, Sky Striker, Diabellstar, PSY-Frame, Vampire, Stardust, Fleur and Code Talker pieces, so the engines compete for the same slots. With 25 spells and 22 monsters in the Main Deck and no recorded boards, brick risk and conversion stay unverified. The score comes from consistency, interaction and boss density on the system, not from Charmer's popularity or from averaging card scores; the usage statistics are not used as evidence because they conflict with the deck list (see data gaps).

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary, 4:1 ratio (judgment). Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); engine conflicts (-4); no side deck (-2). Final formula: Theoretical only, Illegal cap. Uncapped: 0.80*Structural(44) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(30) + Modifiers(-12) = 29.2, capped to 18 because the list is Illegal (Meta Power provisional/null)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense searcher text (17 cards) gives a high chance of at least one search in an opening hand
• Five hand traps plus Mind Control, Change of Heart and Monster Reborn give layered interaction
• Extra Deck bosses at 2500–3000 ATK (Baronne de Fleur, The Zombie Vampire, Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon, Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon) give closing power

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts on four cards (Maxx "C" ×3, WANTED ×3, Snake-Eye Ash ×2, PSY-Framegear Gamma ×2)
• Very low archetype purity (6 of 47 Main Deck cards carry the Charmer name)
• 25 spells in 47 cards and several conditional monsters raise the brick rate
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan

Critical choke points

• Over-limit Maxx "C" and WANTED copies must be cut before the list is playable
• Charmer Link lines need a Charmer monster in hand, and the deck has no main-deck Charmer engine to supply one
• Baronne de Fleur and the Extra Deck bosses depend on Synchro/Link material that the main deck does not supply consistently

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, four cards over the copy limit (Maxx "C" 3, WANTED 3, Snake-Eye Ash 2, PSY-Framegear Gamma 2); Main Deck 47, Extra Deck 15, Side Deck 0; Exact-name Charmer purity 6/47 Main Deck cards (9.7%); Card text and stats for the Extra Deck bosses
• Inferred: Searcher access probability ≈ 0.91 in an opening 5-card hand; Brick risk from 25 spells and conditional monsters; Interaction layering from 5 hand traps and spell interaction; Consistency and closing ratings from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: Usage statistics conflict with the deck list: Dharc, Hiita (Ablaze), Eria, Wynn (Verdant), Lyna, Aussa and Spellbook/Spirit Charmers cards are reported as core but not in the deck, even though most appear in the Extra Deck list; treated as unreliable for this evaluation No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN; going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
